We describe intervention with 2 adolescent male students who had autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and resisted haircutting performed by care providers at a residential school. The students were exposed to a graduated hierarchy of steps including the presence of hair clippers, and increased duration of hair clippers against their scalp and hair. Edible reinforcement was presented contingent on completion of a step without interfering behavior. Both students learned to tolerate all of the steps in the graduated hierarchy and a full haircut with maintenance at 2-, 4-, and 6-month follow-up. The study supports previous tolerance-training research with children and youth who have intellectual and developmental disabilities and resist personal care and hygiene routines.
我们描述了对 2 名患有自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）的男青少年学生的干预措施，他们抗拒在住宿学校由护理人员理发。学生们接受了逐步增加的理发步骤，包括理发器的存在，以及理发器在头皮和头发上的停留时间增加。如果学生在没有干扰行为的情况下完成一个步骤，就会得到可食用的奖励。两名学生都学会了忍受逐步增加的理发步骤，并且在 2、4 和 6 个月的随访中都接受了全面理发和维护。这项研究支持了之前针对有智力和发育障碍、抗拒个人护理和卫生习惯的儿童和青少年进行的耐受训练研究。
